24:45and felt nothing but disgust

25:16i'm the pierce family's son-in-law
25:18in front of a room full of cameras
25:20carter davis was stripped down to a pair of bright red briefs
25:23then he was dragged out and thrown into the street
25:25outside pierce holdings
25:27the wind cut like a blade
25:29so this is the animal
25:30who tried to carve his own daughter's heart out

26:03and we could save the money
26:04this is all your fault
26:06what a curse this all is
26:07it's all because of this little witch
26:09i told you from the start
26:11elizabeth was the better one
26:12but no you had to get mixed up with this tramp

26:22jay johnson
26:23what are you doing here
26:24carter froze for a beat
26:25rachel who the hell is he
26:27who am i
26:28i'm rachel's boyfriend
26:29old man
26:29old man we should be thanking you
26:31you spent the last three years working yourself to death
26:33so we could live it up
26:34carter went rigid
26:36if you're her boyfriend
26:38then what the hell am i
26:41what are you
26:42you're just some idiot who was good for money
26:44if it hadn't been for kim's medical bills
26:46who do you think would have bothered putting up with some pathetic two-second man like you
26:49every dollar you spent these past three years was money you owed me and kim
26:53i'll kill both of you
26:56help johnson
26:57you old bastard let go
26:59the moment carter's mother saw her son getting beaten
27:01she threw herself into the fight to help him
27:04the four of them ended up brawling right there in the street
27:07no one in the crowd tried to stop them
27:09and the whole thing was just getting started
27:12in the end carter and his whole family were taken away by the police
27:15because of the brawl in a public place they were held for 24 hours
27:19when carter got out he was covered in bruises
27:22the worst of it was below the waist
27:24he could barely walk without his legs bowing outward
27:27the only place he had left to go was the cramped little room at oakville hospital
27:31that was where his last shred of hope was lying
27:34kim davis
27:35the second he stepped inside
27:37the doctor coldly slapped two papers against his chest
27:40you owe a hundred thousand
27:42if the bill isn't paid by tomorrow
27:44we stopped the medication
27:46and this is your injury report
27:49carter bent down with shaking hands and picked it up
27:52the moment he read it his eyes widened in horror
27:55crushed testicular rupture
27:57permanent loss of reproductive function
27:59it felt like something exploded in his head
28:02he dropped to the floor staring blankly into space
28:05he carter davis was less than a man now
28:08done finished
28:10which meant the child lying in that hospital bed
28:12kim
28:13was the only bloodline he had left
28:15the only son
28:16the only heir
28:18if kim died
28:19the davis line died with him
28:21doctor
28:21please
28:23you have to save my son
28:25he's the only one i've got
28:28what's the point of all this crying if you don't have money
28:30go find the cash
28:31the room went dead silent
28:34what kind of curse is this
28:36they took everything
28:38how are we supposed to save my grandson
28:40now
28:41money
28:43we need money
28:44carter muttered
28:46his eyes darted wildly around the room
28:48rachel was huddled in the corner
28:50not daring to speak
28:52johnson had already run off
28:54she didn't have a dollar to her name anymore
28:56then carter's gaze landed on her
28:58greedy
28:59calculating
29:01predatory
29:02rachel
29:07for kim's sake
29:08you'd do anything
29:09wouldn't you
29:10carter
29:10what are you doing
29:12kim is our son
29:14he's the future
29:17a place like oakville hospital
29:19will do anything
29:19if you pay enough
29:20a kidney goes for
29:22thirty grand on the black market
29:23your corneas would fetch plenty too
29:27you're kim's mother
29:28using your organs to save your son
29:30is only natural right
29:32no that's illegal
29:34i'm alive
29:35i'm not selling anything
29:36i'm not
29:37rachel carter's right
29:39you've got two kidneys
29:40losing one won't kill you
29:42kim is the only thing that matters
29:43to the davis family
29:45let me go
29:46you old hag
29:47let me go
29:54stop fighting
29:56move again
29:56and i'll choke you to death
29:58the rubber tubing bit into her flesh
30:01rachel's eyes rolled back
30:02her tongue slipped out as her hands weakly clawed at carter's wrists
30:06once we sell you
30:07we'll have the money
30:08then kim lives
30:10he had just started dragging rachel
30:12half conscious now
30:13toward the door to find a doctor
30:14when the room exploded inward
30:17the door was kicked wide open
30:20police
30:21nobody move
30:22more than a dozen armed officers flooded the room
30:24their weapons raised and aimed straight at carter
30:26then came the sound of wheelchair wheels rolling over tile
30:29marcus pushed me slowly through the doorway and stopped just inside
30:33carter davis
30:35kidnapping
30:35aggravated assault
30:37and illegal human organ trafficking
30:38this time you're not getting out
30:40you'll rot in prison
30:42carter's hands went slack
30:44rachel dropped from his grasp like a rag doll and hit the floor
30:47clutching her throat as she coughed violently
30:49he turned his head toward me
30:51stiff and slow
30:52the last light in his eyes had gone out
30:54elizabeth pierce
30:55you really are ruthless
30:57ruthless
30:58no
30:59you did this to yourself
31:02then the handcuffs snapped shut with a hard metallic click
31:05and that was the end of him
31:08three months later
31:09the courtroom was solemn and still
31:11standing at the defense table
31:13carter looked like he had aged 20 years
31:15his hair had gone gray
31:17his back was bent
31:19there was nothing left of the man who had once carried himself with swagger and pride
31:23the judge brought down the gavel
31:24defendant carter davis having been found guilty of bigamy

31:56when he heard the sentence
31:58carter slowly turned and looked at me in the gallery
32:01i looked back at him calmly
32:02my eyes were completely cold
32:04as for the child named kim
32:06he had died on the third day after carter's arrest for multiple organ failure
32:10after the sentencing
32:12i went to the detention center to see carter one last time
32:15separated by bulletproof glass
32:17carter picked up the phone
32:18elizabeth you won
32:23no
32:25you were just too greedy
32:26carter let out a broken laugh
32:28cloudy tears spilled down his face
32:30yeah i could have had everything
32:33i had a beautiful wife
32:35a wonderful daughter
32:36and more money than i could spend

32:52you can spend the rest of your life
32:54making up for what you did
32:56that is the debt
32:57you owe chloe
32:58with that
32:59i hung up the phone
33:00and walked out of the visitation room
33:02without looking back
33:03behind me
33:04i could hear carter break down
33:05sobbing so hard
33:06it sounded like his heart was being torn apart
33:08but i didn't care anymore
33:10when i stepped out through the gates of the detention center
33:12the sun was shining
33:14the window rolled down
33:15revealing marcus's handsome profile
33:17chloe was wearing a pink princess dress
33:19she flew into my arms like a happy little butterfly
33:22after months of therapy
33:24she had finally come out of the darkness
33:26and become bright and lively again
33:27mommy uncle marcus said he's taking us to disneyland today
33:31come on hurry
33:32marcus stepped out of the car
33:34and slipped his other arm lightly around my waist
33:37is it all over
33:38yeah
33:40it's over
33:41then it's time for a new life to begin
33:43he crouched down
33:44lifted chloe into his arms
33:46and then looked at me with a tenderness so deep
33:48chloe
33:48how about calling me dad from now on
33:53daddy
33:56the sunlight poured over us
33:58warm and golden
33:59i looked at the two of them smiling
34:01and felt myself smile too
34:02no matter how deep into hell life may drag you
34:05if you keep walking forward
34:07you will always find the light
